This example demonstrates how to apply a print-only privilege to a PDF document using Aspose.PDF for .NET, while disabling internal exception handling to ensure errors are surfaced via standard .NET exceptions. This approach gives developers full control over error handling and is especially useful in production environments where robust error logging and recovery are required.

Steps to Apply Print Privilege and Disable Exceptions using C#

1. Add a reference to Aspose.Pdf.dll and include the Aspose.Pdf.Facades namespace
2. Define input and output file paths along with user and owner passwords
3. Check that the input PDF file exists before proceeding
4. Initialize PdfFileSecurity with the input and output paths
5. Set AllowExceptions to false to disable internal exception handling
6. Call SetPrivilege with user/owner passwords and DocumentPrivilege.Print to restrict permissions

The steps above configure the PDF security settings to allow only printing, while ensuring that any failures during processing are thrown as standard exceptions for explicit handling.

Code to Apply Print Privilege and Disable Exceptions using C#

The example demonstrates how to enforce strict PDF permissions (print-only) and handle errors explicitly by disabling internal exception suppression—making the code more transparent and production-ready.
